Lindsay Lohan is inching back into the limelight by linking herself to stars with actual jobs. Over the last couple of days, the quintuple-rehabbed cautionary tale, 24, sent tweets to Kim and Kourtney Kardashian ("love you girls!") and denied whispers that she's hooking up with a sought-after actor.
"Tom Hardy is just a friend of mine," Linds wrote on Monday. "The tabloids are wrong."
A couple weeks back, the "Inception" star was quick to distance himself from claims that he was serving as Lohan's "sober mentor," although his rep acknowledged that he knew her and was "helping her" in some capacity.
Hardy, who has been on the wagon since 2003, just landed a bad-guy role in the next "Batman" movie, news that led one outlet to refer to him as Lindsay's "rumored beau."
"He's a good-looking guy with a great career who has overcome some major obstacles," a source told X17. "They're perfect together. Lindsay hopes it will turn into a serious relationship. She's really into him."
The rising British star, for his part, is really into actress Charlotte Riley, whom he proposed to in July 2010.
RELATED: Did LiLo pay off former Betty Ford staffer?
Meanwhile, in other image-burnishing Lindsay news, she's apparently vowing to stay away from her favorite watering holes. Yes, again. And this time (unlike those other eleventy-billion times), she means it.
Seems the onetime actress wants nothing more than to curl up at home with cup of cocoa and a copy of "Eat Pray Love," because sources tell TMZ that she's "completely over the club scene."
In a seemingly revelatory moment, Linds figured out that being around bad influences might not be the healthiest thing for someone in recovery, so she's resolved to quit her hot-spot-hopping and avoid "the people that only used her to party."
RELATED: Lindsay believes true beauty is within, except maybe when it comes to her lips
No word on where that leaves mom Dina, but Lindsay did step out over the weekend with her longtime buddy Patrick "Pootie" Aufdenkamp, with whom she had a major falling out last year after he supposedly swiped designs from her leggings line (he denied the accusations).
Lohan told Us at the time, "I should've known better."

Alexandra Pope, staff writer
July 28, 2011 — Social media technologies are providing Canadians with a new way to engage in their favorite pastime: complaining about the weather.
If it seems like all Canadians can talk about lately is the heat ... that's because it is.
As temperatures began warming up across parts of Canada last month, social media monitoring company Meltwater tuned in to the conversations taking place on Twitter, Facebook, blogs and chat forums.
Using a program called Meltwater Buzz, Meltwater tracked the number of times the heat was mentioned in social media conversations over a period of 30 days.
Their findings were unsurprising: more than 120,000 heat-related conversations took place.
Even less surprising was the breakdown of sentiment in those conversations. Meltwater found Canadians were four times more likely to complain about the heat than embrace it.
The results ... provided some evidence for something we all know to be true -- Canadians love to complain about the weather, said Niklas de Besche, executive director of Meltwater Buzz.
The weather has always been a hot topic of conversation in Canada, de Besche said, but social media has made it easier for Canadians to share their opinions.
I don't know if (social media) is changing the way we talk about the weather, but it certainly provides us more opportunity to broadcast our views to others in a way that simply wasn't possible before, he said.
Meltwater also found that of all the social media platforms they monitored, Twitter was the most popular, accounting for 60 per cent of all heat-related conversations.
De Besche cited the simplicity of Twitter as a possible reason for its popularity as a forum for weather chatter.
We all like to give our two cents about the weather, he said. Perhaps Twitter offers just enough characters for us to get our point across.
The heat was Meltwater's first foray into Canada's collective weather conversation, but de Besche said the company would be open to exploring more weather-related topics in the future.
Increasingly, governments are turning to social media to disseminate urgent information.
Clearly, the way Canadians consume information is changing and one of those ways is the increasing use of social media, de Besche said. More and more, Meltwater is seeing an increase in this sort of social chatter and we know through our tracking that decision makers are paying attention to these channels.

Why First Impressions Is so Important
Whenever you're in a high profile singing career like Josh Davis Band is, it's important to put your best first impression out there. As a singer, there are a lot of close ups of your face in both pictures and video. For this reason, many singers make it a priority to keep their smiles white and attractive. It may not seem like a big deal, but it's something that people will notice.
Josh Davis was born in 1979 in Boone Iowa, and has spent the last 10 years in Des Moines, using it as the home base for his singing career. He started out with simple acoustic performances for friends and family and it has since grown to where it is now. His first band was the Josh Davis Band which performed mostly pop. A new band that was formed called Bright Giant, which went into much edgier rock and now it sounds like there may be more surprises in store.
Being in front of audiences as often as he is, it is no doubt that attention is paid to his appearance and the appearance of the band members. One good way to ensure that the band is putting their best foot, or face forward is by ensuring that they take care of their appearance and that means having a great smile with white teeth. Is this really important as a singer and songwriter for an edgy rock band? Yes!
First Impressions Count
Your smile and teeth are one of the first things people really see about you. If it looks dingy and yellow and unclean, people will notice and it can affect everything from the jobs you get to the people you date. If you want to get a rock star smile, it's easy to do by taking care of your teeth and using the right products to ensure that you look your best. So what is the best way to take care of your teeth and get a terrific white smile?
- Regular brushing – brushing your teeth 2-3 times a day is very important for keeping teeth healthy and preventing plaque buildup and other unattractive problems that can occur when you don't brush. You don't need to over brush, but following the 2-3 times a day rule is more than likely going to be enough. The only reason to brush more often is if you have had something to drink that typically stains such as coffee, wine, cola, or grape juice. Brushing right after drinking those drinks can prevent stains from settling on the teeth
- Use a good, safe whitening toothpaste – There are a ton of whitening toothpastes out there to choose from. Some are harsher than others, and contain SLS; a widely debated ingredient that many are contributing to all kinds of potential problems such as canker sores and other irritations. If you want to avoid the chemicals look for toothpaste without SLS for a much healthier, but still effective way to get your teeth whitened.
- Use a good whitening mouthwash – mouthwash can help get rid of the bacteria and stains that brushing does not. It seems to work best when you brush first and then use the mouthwash, but due to the ingredients in some of them, you may want to limit usage to no more than once a day or every other day. If you notice sores in your mouth, the mouthwash or toothpaste may be the culprit, so keep an eye on the ingredients they contain.
- Use a straw to drink most drinks – drinking with a straw minimizes the contact your teeth have with drinks that can stain them. It is a good practice to get into if possible, for all of your drinks and will help to keep your smile bright and great looking.
- Use White strips– whitening strips used to be looked down on by Dentists, but they have become so accepted that in many offices, patients are given white strip kits to take hone and use when they want to whiten their teeth. There are many over the counter brands of white strips for you to try. Make sure to read the directions and follow them to the letter to ensure the best success.
It's not hard to have the bright, white smile of a rock star like Josh Davis. He spends a ton of time recording songs and being in front of audiences. Songwriting is his passion and he has recorded a lot of demos that have yet to be heard by anyone yet, and may never be. He loves performing and singing for his fans and has often as well as recorded several albums. His down to earth love of music has him playing in quaint places, like The Gas Lamp where it's like going to watch an old friend.

Steer Clear of Stadium Madness
November 23, 1998
Sol Stern
Connecticut has already plunged into sports stadium madness with Gov. John Rowland's decision to build a $350 million football arena for the New England Patriots in Hartford. Can New York City be far behind?
Apparently not, since, as the Daily News reported last week, the city's Economic Development Corp. has quietly agreed to give the Yankees $3 million to study building a new stadium on the West Side or in the Bronx.
The Giuliani administration's pursuit of a new Yankee Stadium is understandable. It is a maxim of New York politics that no mayor can afford to be remembered as someone who stood by helplessly while the Big Apple's oldest and most beloved sports franchise abandoned the city.
Even so, the mayor's determination to use some $500 million of taxpayer money to build a glittering new field of dreams for the Yankees is a terrible idea. It is a dismaying retreat from his pledge to lower taxes and reduce government intrusion into the economy. It is the exact reverse of the fiscal policies Mayor Giuliani needs to follow to help the city achieve real economic growth.
The administration tries to justify its venture into state capitalism as an economic boon for the city. But there are dozens of reputable economic studies that argue sports stadiums cannot reasonably be justified by expectations of increased economic activity. The consensus runs almost across the board from economists on the right to those on the left.
Despite all this evidence, elected officials sometimes succeed in convincing the public that sports stadiums are worthwhile investments — just look at all the applause for Gov. Rowland in Connecticut.
It's true that new businesses do sprout up around relocated stadiums. No doubt, a new stadium on the West Side would attract new souvlaki stands and souvenir shops, new bars and restaurants, possibly even a new hotel. Some of the revenue these new businesses would generate might come out of the pockets of out-of-towners who might not otherwise have spent money in the city.
But as recent studies of Baltimore and Cleveland show, a substantial amount of the revenues would represent merely a shift of entertainment spending from one part of the city to another.
Take Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards. When Giuliani paid this new stadium a highly publicized visit last spring, he not only gushed about its beauty and comfort but repeated the claim that everyone benefited from the public expenditure on it.
Parts of the "Camden Yards miracle" are certainly true. Immediately following its construction, average attendance at Orioles games increased to 45,000, from 28,000.
However, several recent definitive studies have demolished the myth that building the stadium led to overall economic betterment for the city and state.
Johns Hopkins University economists Bruce Hamilton and Peter Kahn stated: "Public expenditures on [Camden Yards] cannot be justified on the grounds of local economic development."
They went on to say: "We estimate that baseball at Camden Yards generates approximately $3 million in annual economic benefits to the Maryland economy at an annual cost to the taxpayers of Maryland of approximately $14 million."
Though economic activity increased considerably in the spruced-up waterfront area near Camden Yards, much of this represents a relocation of businesses from other parts of the city. And while it is true that Orioles fans spend a lot more money in and around the new stadium, this, too, is money shifted from other Baltimore entertainment venues.
Baltimore was an economically troubled city before the building of its new stadium. It still is.
Giuliani is entitled to try to move the mountain a little to keep his beloved Yankees in the city. What he ought not do in the process is undermine his own political legacy and further impair the city's economic prospects.

text: Firefox Black window - Pidgin Blank Contacts - Chrome won't launch. Tags: Chrome Firefox Windows 7 Last response: September 17, 2012 6:08 PM in Windows 7 Share Traggums September 9, 2012 5:33:23 PM Hey everyone, *long* time lurker, first post here. I've looked around the net and can not find any results that describe my issue. I have run memtest86+ and it came back with no problems. I have also updated my graphics drivers to the latest from nVidia. These are some very strange things that are happening on my system: 1) Firefox opens to a compeltely black window. There will be window chrome around the left, bottom, and right side, the top bar is completely black (no chrome). If I choose to launch Firefox in safe mode it is the same thing, only the color is white instead of black. If I choose to launch Firefox with compatibility mode for WinXP SP3, it is the same story as launching it in safe mode, only this time I can see the "Mozilla Firefox" titlebar text and chrome. Nothing is ever rendered inside the window, and when I resize it, everything within the window once again turns to black (can still see the titlebar/text). Steps I have taken to remedy this problem: 1) Uninstalled/reinstalled Firefox. 2) Uninstalled Firefox, deleted the Mozilla folders from /Users/Me/AppData/Local and /Roaming then Reinstalled Same results every time. 2) Pidgin opens to a blank list of contacts. The titlebar and buddy list are selectable but there is no text anywhere within the entire Pidgin window - I can not see which buddies are online, and if I click any menu item (File/Edit/View etc) it will drop down with icons, but there is no text, so I have no idea what I would be clicking on. Steps I have taken to remedy this problem: 1) Uninstalled/reinstalled Pidgin 2) Uninstalled Pidgin, deleted the .purple folder from /Users/Me/AppData/Roaming and reinstalled. Same results every time. 3) Google Chrome will not open. Now this problem is actually correctable, however it just does the same thing again after about 24 hours of applying the fix. To fix this (temporarily, it always comes back) I Uninstall, then delete the Google/Chrome folder out of /Users/Me/AppData/Local. After reinstalling it will work for some time. My previous Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installation was doing this *exact same thing*, which prompted me to install Win7x64 again on a new hard drive. Everything worked great on this new install until about 24 hours after finishing the last of Windows Updates, and after I had finished downloading some games (GuildWars2 and Diablo3). and now THIS installation is doing the same junk. The only other clue I have to this is that when I do an /sfc scannow it comes back with an unfixable file: iassdo.dll.mui This is another thing that happened on my previous install. The common (software) denominator is the installation media, I used the same disc to do the installation on my previous install, and this new one. If anyone has any suggestions/leads to troubleshoot, I could really use the help! It has me and my tech buddies stumped! System Specs: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1 Intel Core2Duo E8400 8GB DDR2 6400 RAM nVidia GTX 465 More about : firefox black window pidgin blank contacts chrome launch Traggums September 17, 2012 6:08:15 PM So I found the culprit. Apparently it was a 3rd party program called IndieVolume that was causing all the problems. Awesome software, but instead of simply disabling the program once you go beyond the Trial period, it makes your system act up like this. At least that's as much as I can figure, because my system was working great until the trial time ran out on the program, though it offered no resistance to continuing to use the program with the nag screen. I discovered my problems went away when the program was not running, but as soon as I launched it, all of the symptoms came right back. I'm not sure if I bought the program that it would fix the problem, but I don't feel like taking a $25 gamble just so I can hear per-application audio to certain sound output devices. (I was using it to watch my Slingbox on my HDTV with the audio going to the TV speakers) Oh well. If anyone has a program that does what IndieVolume does, I'd love to hear about it. m 0 l Can't find your answer ? Ask !

So, I'm going to do a bit of an Alice in Wonderland with you today. I'm going to take you back in time and down the tunnel to explore the strange and mysterious in life. I often do this kind of thing, not only because I find it fascinating, but also because it opens my eyes to things I never imagined, and lets me see the beauty that daily life hides beneath.
Now, I'll tell you up front that I'm taking the dog with us on this journey mostly because she's the perfect photographic companion. The hubby tends to become rather impatient as I lose myself in the roadside moss for the better part of half an hour. Why, I really don't know. Personally I find the stuff fascinating and the dog completely agrees with me. She's learnt to take advantage of my explorations of the weirder things in life by smelling the roses (or whatever else is at hand) and waits patiently until I've satisfied the lens and my own curiosity.
So, here we go on a little walk down Suwanee River Trail. The evening sun is drifting through the forest and gives a diffuse glow to everything underfoot. I get down on the ground with my lens and trusty extension tubes and let nature lead me. Like following the rabbit down the hole I find all kinds of weird and wonderful shapes just waiting for me to see them.
It's a piece of plain moss, the light on a palm or a simple weed that amazes me. These may be the small things in life, but they all have a story to tell and in the right light they can all be beautiful. It's the little curls, the whiffs of light and the colors that attract me, and all it takes are a few hours on the trail to find the treasures that are already out there.
It's quite the find and quite a revelation. After all, who would have thought all this would be free? That's a secret and only the dog and I know.
Or rather, now you do too….

Terry & Linda says:
Macro and existing light photography are my favorites. I used to do lots of macro shots then blow them up on the screen to see the detail that my eyes miss. But I'm between "big" cameras having sold off all my Nikon gear. When I buy again, (Canon this time), a 60mm or 100mm macro lens will be the second lens purchased. Keep those close-up shots coming.- Terry
libertatemamo says:
In between camera's…oh noooooo! You poor thing! We'll keep our paws crossed that you get re-kitted soon. Nina
mark says:
Beautiful shots Nina…I'm with the dog, love the photo walks!
libertatemamo says:
Cheers! You may come with us on the next walk, then
Karen says:
I LOVE this!! It is my most fervent hope that when we get started next month on our journey that I can start doing my photos again. I had studied and practiced very hard before our safari to Africa in 2008, but since then, everyday life has caused photography to take the back seat again. I would love to discuss the equipment you used for these, I have not done macro photos before.
libertatemamo says:
Photography on the road is fabulous. So many chances to take advantage of it as I'm sure you will. I actually have a pretty "basic" kit and use cheap extension tubes to do my macro shots (I call it "poor man's" macro), but it's so much fun. If you're interested I've talked about my kit HERE and extension tubes HERE. Feel free to ask any other questions that pop up. Nina

Hey Angi! I love doing yoga on a boat too!! Cone and join us on Sunday.
Hi Angini, Will you be showing up at least 2 times this year? You only showed up at one swim last season, so should I delete your membership in the TANS Meetup group? I just don't want the group full of inactive players that I can't count on showing up. All the best, Dave and Lisa. Miss you.
Hi Angini, I'm back in town for this swim night on the 23rd. I'm trying to rustle up a few more players. (g) Any gals from TSG you might invite? Need a break? Hope to see you.
Jim and Michele cancelled too. Will have to charge $20 each if 8 show up. (g) Enjoy, next time.
Did you get home safe and sound Angini? (g)
Looks like I won't have to use Paypal if people agree to the surcharge idea.
Sure, np. I'm just make you a guest of mine. Hope your move went well. I'm sure your tired out. We got 14 out tonight so I didn't have to surcharge and I had enough to give the staff a bonus for a change.
Miserable timing eh Angini. And we have the water warmed up back to our normal too. Sooo relaxing. (g)

Wind energy developer runs into a green wall
|| Print |
|Articles - October 2010
|Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Page 2 of 2
Chris Crowley, however, is not going anywhere. He's already braved one harrowing moment early in Columbia Energy Partners' life, not two years after he left a grassroots music startup called Hardroad.com ("That's what I should have named my wind company," he says.) A few days before Christmas 2001, his first wind project near the town of Arlington, dependent on loans personally guaranteed by Crowley, suddenly lost its power purchaser, Pacific Power. He and his wife and two kids sat around the kitchen table and wept, before Crowley, who then as now operates with a small team and a large consulting Rolodex, went back out and sold the project to Horizon.
These days, Crowley dons his trusty company baseball cap and rallies ruralites in Harney County. They're drawn to his juicy promise of hundreds of millions in investment, 150 construction jobs during each of the projects, and around 10 permanent posts at each farm. This area has been on a long, slow decline with shrinking timber harvests on surrounding public land and battered further by the closing two years ago of a Monaco Coach RV plant. Unemployment now stands at over 16% in the county, half the remaining workforce is in the public sector and the largest private employer is the Safeway in the county seat of Burns (population 3,000).
Crowley also has been going the extra mile for the local seal of approval. In addition to hiring a crew to build an early access road, he bought a Chevy Yukon at the dealership in Burns and supported the local Fourth of July fireworks display this summer. He's held informational meetings for handfuls of people in tiny ranch communities like Diamond ("Population: 5" reads the token sign) and fielded questions about windmills tipping over cows. He dines and swaps pictures of his kids with Harney County Judge Steve Grasty.
He even has brought his family down for spring breaks. "We talked about moving down here," he says. "I wish we had."
When it came time for a hearing in June on whether the state should bar wind development in a special management area around Steens Mountain, almost 200 people turned up at the Harney County fairgrounds in support of the project, overwhelming the dozen or so objectors.
"Chris did it right. He got involved. He went to dinner with people," says Grasty. "It's what the obstructionist groups won't do," he says, referring to environmental groups. "They don't have representation in the community. They don't come to the fair or football games. This community will absorb people quickly. It will also put up barriers if you don't want to participate." Grasty, for his part, has become a windphile, with a faded, early-1900s picture at the ready near his desk showing 27 tin water-pump windmills in downtown Burns.
But excitement around town has given way to restlessness in the three years of planning, delays and petitions that followed swift county approval for the first project in mid-2007.
Crowley hasn't been in Harney County for 10 minutes on his mid-summer trip when he's greeted with an earnest, "When you going to put me to work?" from an equipment operator, while standing around the local shooting range.
"As soon as I can get the green light on this thing!" Crowley fires back, gamely.
Down in town, he introduces himself to a group of women at a local watering hole, and one promptly asks: "My son's 20. Can you give him a job?"
Ranchers who've set aside reservations about 400 foot-tall turbines and doubts about global warming and Obama ("I don't talk straight politics much," says Crowley) are now wondering when their royalties are going to start. "If you can get this built, I can retire," rancher Hoyt Wilson tells Crowley, as they stand at the base of the majestic 1,000-foot ridge Wilson owns on the Steens' east side that will be "cluttered" — as Wilson says — with the first 45 windmills known as the Echanis project. Wilson, 68, figures the turbines offer a way to keep his 28,000-acre Mann Lake Ranch intact and float his marginal cow-calf operation so he can hand the ranch off to his kids. "Then again, I might die before you get this thing up!" he jests with Crowley.
Whatever anxiousness greets him in Harney, Crowley is sold on the ranchers' salt-of-the-earth pride, the way they fight off rattlesnake bites and give birth at home and live to 90 in the face of financial and legislative distress. And as he drives Harney's back roads, noting notorious caves, who's moved their cattle and where a herd of imported buffalo used to roam, he channels a worn voice and asks, "When does Harney County get something?"
Environmentalists aren't so sympathetic, noting that ranchers made out handsomely in the 2000 deal that saw them give up lands around the Steens peak to create a cow-free wilderness. Landowners received cash payments and added contiguous rangelands at lower elevations in exchange. They also agreed to forgo substantial development in a new management zone around the mountain, where Columbia Energy's two unpermitted projects would go.
ONDA's Brent Fenty points to a line in the 2000 Steens Mountain Wilderness Act prohibiting anything "different from the current character and uses of the land" in the special management zone. But Crowley notes that an appendix to the Steens Act also says that public land managers may promote clean energy in the area.
Retrenchment looked like such a distant possibility to Crowley this spring that he handed off negotiating with ONDA to his lawyer, Jon Norling.
But slowly over the summer, the playing field began to change. First, ONDA hinted at a willingness to bargain when it agreed to abstain from legal action on another energy project — the Ruby natural gas pipeline from southwestern Wyoming into Malin, just south of Klamath Falls — in exchange for a $22 million agreement from pipeline builder El Paso Corp. to fund habitat restoration and grazing permit retirement.
Then the federal Bureau of Land Management, which is studying Columbia Energy's transmission line across the Steens cooperative management area and the nearby Malheur bird refuge, said the wind turbines in all of the Columbia Energy projects would only be visible from 0.4% of the Steens wilderness area.
When Norling finally got a meeting with the ONDA in early August, he says the tone was lighter. "We were buoyed by the Ruby pipeline deal," Norling says. According to Norling, ONDA staffers no longer raised any concerns about scenic blight from the turbines, and the two groups began sketching out an agreement that would set aside land and money to mitigate losses to wildlife habitat from the wind turbines, in exchange for no legal challenges from ONDA. ONDA leaders maintain that no deal has been reached. "Our position hasn't changed," says Liz Nysson, ONDA's climate change coordinator.
Even if there is a glimmer of progress, Crowley is not smiling yet. A deal in the next few months could pave the way for the first project to come online as early as next year. But while his colleagues view the concession as part of the cost of doing business, Crowley seems to see it as deeply dissatisfying. A new compensation fund, similar to the one ONDA set up as part of the Ruby pipeline, would mean that Crowley's wind projects weren't much better than a natural gas pipeline. The approval of green groups needs to be bought in the same way. And that's a harsh reality.
"We're green power, not fossil fuels!" Crowley says. "I hope that still has some bearing on things. We're a good thing."

text: Evan Osnos September 30, 2010 Dalai Lama Reading By Evan Osnos Writing about someone who has authored or co-authored more than one hundred books requires some advance notice. Mercifully, most of the books listed under the Dalai Lama's name stick to some reliable themes, so the best of the bunch rise quickly to the top. No less important, the Dalai Lama, Tibet, and Buddhism have spawned a canon of competing perspectives that ranges from reverence to condemnation. Getting a fresh perspective requires spending time on the ground, and reading about Tibet can often be more confusing than clarifying. But here, in no particular order, is a sample of the titles—mostly English and a few Chinese—that were helpful in getting a sense of Tibetan, Han Chinese, and American perspectives: "The Dragon in the Land of Snows," by Tsering Shakya. "The Struggle for Tibet," by Wang Lixiong and Tsering Shakya. "Tibet, Tibet," by Patrick French. "The Open Road," by Pico Iyer. "Ethnic Relations in China," by Ma Rong. No sign of an online listing, but some of the ideas are covered here. "Virtual Tibet," by Orville Schell. "The Tibetans," by Matthew Kapstein. "Ethics for the New Millennium," by the Dalai Lama. "Freedom in Exile," by the Dalai Lama. "The Universe in a Single Atom," by the Dalai Lama. "The Wisdom of Forgiveness," by the Dalai Lama and Victor Chan.

Entering into the mythology of athlete food and drink consumption, and along the lines of drinking 64 beers on a cross-country flight, is none other than Philadelphia Eagles first-round draft pick Lane Johnson.
Johnson, a former high school quarterback who has gained over 100 pounds since, is being presented to fans of the Eagles as some kind of folk legend. Johnson is even playing into it by joking around about wrestling bears back home.
The story that caught most folks' attention is that of the appetite attached to Johnson. After all, the dude gained 100 pounds. His stepfather relayed the story to PhillyMag.com, and it is as amazing as it is gross:
"He came home two weekends ago," Evans said. "I bought 36 eggs on Thursday afternoon. He was coming home Friday. And I bought about 10, 15 pounds of hamburger meat. Well that Thursday, I cooked 20 burgers. The next Friday night, I come out to eat one, they're all gone. I said, 'Lane, where's all the hamburgers?' 'I ate 'em.' Well Saturday morning comes around, I was going to cook breakfast. I looked down, I said, 'Lane, where's the eggs?' 'I ate 'em.'"
See, amazingly gross. I've never had more than two half-pound burgers in one sitting, and maybe six in a week. I have smashed 10 sliders.
Johnson claims he wants to gain an additional 10-15 pounds prior to the start of training camp. As long as he keeps making trips home, he may very well exceed that.
We wanted to use a Bill Brasky video, but USA Today already beat us to the idea.

Flight 666 brings passengers to HEL on Friday the 13th
Updated On: Sep 13 2013 11:55:50 AM EDT
Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th?
For superstitious travelers, that might be tempting fate. But Finnair passengers on AY666 to Helsinki -- which has the 3 letter designation HEL -- don't seem too bothered. Friday's flight is almost full.
20 Common Superstitions
"It has been quite a joke among the pilots" said veteran Finnair pilot Juha-Pekka Keidasto, who will fly the Airbus A320 from Copenhagen to Helsinki. "I'm not a superstitious man. It's only a coincidence for me."
The daily flight AY666 from Copenhagen to Helsinki falls on Friday the 13th twice in 2013. Friday the 13th is considered bad luck in many countries and the number 666 also has strong negative biblical associations.
Some airlines, like Scandinavian Airlines, take these fears seriously and don't have a row 13 on board. However, the negative connotations are a relatively new phenomenon for northern Europeans, and Finnair and other regional carriers like Norwegian and Estonian Air keep row 13.
"Less than 100 years ago, the number 13 did not have this sinister meaning; it's quite recent in the north," said Ulo Valk, professor of comparative folklore at the University of Tartu in Estonia.
"There are 12 hours, 12 months and in Christianity 12 apostles and this is a divine number. Add one more and it brings in a certain element of chaos," he said.
But passengers on flight 666 to HEL should have a calm flight over the Baltic at this time of year.
"It's hopefully smooth skies" says Keidasto. "And if there's some passenger who is anxious about this 666 our cabin crew is always happy to help them."

Hello all.
Just read from autobloggreen about some new battery manufacturer called "Planar Energy". (http://green.autoblog.com/2010/07/27/planar-energy-to-begin-small-scale-...)
They seem to have tech for pretty good Wh/kg batteries. From one of their pdf (http://www.planarenergy.com/Press%20Releases/Technology%20Review_%20Safe...)
"One of them combines lithium manganese oxide with other ions, and operates at about three to five volts with a charge capacity of 200 milliamp hours per gram."
Calculating that as 3.5V * 200mAh/g you get 700mWh/g or 700Wh/kg. to put that in right context: Roadster battery: 450kg. Drop 30% off as supporting structure: 315kg battery * 700 = 220.500kWh battery. Nearly four times as much as current tech is. That would allow roadster to go 200 * 4 = 800 miles with one charge.
It is the same thing as the later of those two discussions. (First is not the same). "in which solid particles are suspended in a carrier liquid and pumped through the system". That's exactly what is being referenced in that later one. That same sentence is actually from this link referenced there:
And this is the actual scientific article:
Here's another candidate; graphene capacitors, similar "density" to LiIon (I assume energy density) and 3X the speed.
A123 -- swirling, swirling ... the gurgles are becoming deafening. Will it take Fisker down before Fisker takes it down?
In Science article it says "The LSG-EC can exhibit energy densities of up to 1.36 mWh/cm^3" which is 0.00136Wh/cm^3 which is again 1.36Wh/L. A bit less than one hundredth of Li-ions.
Still very far from Li-ions in capacity. Power density is a lot higher (like same ratio but other way around).
Rather than start a new battery thread, I'll recharge this one.
The current battery problem I am having are the dead batteries in two GM ICE vehicles due to lack of use. After a month or two of exclusive enjoyment of the Tesla Model S, the old gas vehicles wouldn't start and now must have trickle chargers on both of of them.
Time to sell the dusty unused cars! Until then, a 5 minute engine run once a month is a good preventive measure. If it's good enough for a Volt to run it's engine once a month, I figure it's a good idea for the unused ICE cars. A longer drive will be needed to "empty" the gas tank at least once a year.
@Mark Z
Volt doesn't run it's engine once a month but does do a maintainance burn after a longer period of non-use. Not an issue unless you are blindly chasing an ideal.
